A well-functioning democracy requires a media system that provides diverse sources of information and encourages civic participation. The government once considered the airwaves such an integral part of our democracy that politicians decided the public should own and control them. It is time for the public to reclaim the responsibility of producing quality media from the corporate conglomerates. The first step is to break up the concentration of media power. Let’s give control to a greater number of smaller companies that could legitimately compete with a broader range of information. Also, we must create and maintain a noncommercial public media system as well as independent alternative media that exist outside the control of transnational corporations and advertisers. The rise of independent political blogs, and that of alternative podcasts, radio networks and television channels are all examples of citizens rising up to take back control of our media

• This question and answer is made by me to practice for expected essay questions in my student's finals.

Q : List two things that the public should do to reclaim the responsibility of producing quality media. Describe using 10~20 words.
A : First, they should break up the concentration of media power and secondly, they must create and maintain noncommercial public media system as well as independent alternative media.

If you find any improper words or content, please let me know.

Q : List two things that the public should do to reclaim the responsibility of producing quality media. Describe using from ten to twenty words.
A : First, they should break up the concentration of media power and, second, they must create and maintain noncommercial public media system as well as independent alternative media.

If you find any improper words or content, please let me know.

Since you put a comma after First, I added one before second to bracket it. None of the commas are really necessary.

I think firstly and secondly are wordy. Some people like them.

I think firstly and secondly are wordy. Some people like them.

Many BrE speakers prefer the wordy forms. I do, but I am of certain age and first seems a bit newfangled to me.

You assume what the answer is before you ask the question. What do I mean by that? You assume that government has all the answers.

What in the history of the world anywhere makes you think government makes better decisions than the rest of us?

In a John Stossel video I watched recently the host said politics bad, markets good (or something like that).
